~ German Dog Appreciation Thread! ~

Figured I'd chime in with my family dogs. The little black one is Bear, a miniature poodle/dachshund mix, and the big dog is Levi, a shepherd rottweiler (or at least we think).

Poor Levi blew out the tendons on both his back legs and will need surgery to fix it. Unfortunately, he belongs to my brother, whose youngest son (5) was born with a very sever heart defect that has required a few million in surgeries already, and probably more in the coming years. It sucks when it comes down to your dog or your kid, because it isn't much of a choice to make. I've been thinking about setting up a crowd funding thing to try and raise the money Levi need to fix his legs, but the family as a whole still needs to decide what happens with him. Long story, he may end up living with me or my parents. I really want everything to work out well for him, he's such a sweet dog.

Odin thrown in just because I liked the picture. My boy isn't German at all, which is weird considering the family dog history.

here is our girl Sasha she is a mix 3/4 rottie, my hubby rescued her a few years ago. We've always had a rottie and my mom has had a few as well. But our last boy had to be put down because his hips were sooo bad. It seems like all the rotties these days have hip issues. Even our mix has bad hips.

We also have a boston terrier, two italian greyhounds and a chihuahua(too many dogs).

Just brought him home yesterday. Exactly 8 week old Berger Blanc Suiss Shepherd.

Bad lighting on the pic, but he was laying under my computer table.

Here are a couple pics of my beasties. They're tiny, but tenacious.

Honest, they're vicious. Just look at the bones. My wife dressed them up like that. Well just the hats.

My male GSP Digger Dawg.

Beautiful dog. I grew up with one of those and he was an unbelievably good hunter for pheasants. Even without your signature block I could tell you were from the north with the pic of the Ptarmigan

Dekkja, AKC registered German Shepherd. My running/hiking/yoga buddy along with being one of the best dogs I have ever owned. She is 1 1/2. Hasn't yet grown into the ears! ha! Unfortunately, I haven't uploaded any pics of here since winter, but these will do. :)http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4gwuybcj.jpg

Thank you for the compliment. All the photos here are beautiful. We lived in the Yukon until 2007, that is where the ptarmigan pic was taken. There are not any ptarmigan here in central Alberta.

Digger went by plane to Fairbanks from Pennsylvania, then from Fairbanks to Dawson City Yukon. A friend picked him up at the Fairbanks airport and kept him overnight for me. He had a layover on his long flight and the airline employees were great. For the short jaunt between Fairbanks and Dawson City, he got constant ear scratches in his kennel from the co-pilot, he flew first class in the cockpit.
